    Haha love the practicality of this video. Quick recap of people wanting a summary:
    - Frozen veggies and fruits
    - Canned goods (tomatoes, broth)
    - Instant products (rice)
    - Ethnic Inspo (red and green curry paste, coconut cream/paste)
    - Whole grain bread
    - Condiments, sauces and dressings (less sodium and sugar)
    - Raw nuts and seeds
    - Mineral water
    "Everybody needs a bit of curry in their lives."

    I'm late to the party but I love this video. My go-to pantry items are oatmeal and peanut butter. When I'm depressed and just trying to survive I will make instant oatmeal, mix in peanut butter while it is hot then add in 6 halves of strawberries or slices of banana that are pre frozen (this cools it off quickly and thaws the fruit so I can eat it soon, which is doubly helpful if I'm tight on time). I keep half a dozen to a dozen containers of frozen fruit on hand (all fruit bought fresh when on sale because buying frozen bagged fruit is not an option for me as I can't stand the residual plastic taste it leaves behind). I must be frugal to survive so oatmeal is a very affordable option to keep it healthy. Buying thick cut rolled oats and adding flax seeds and cinnamon can keep it even healthier, but sometimes depression doesn't play nice so I do keep a stock of instant oatmeal packets. The added sugar may not be ideal for some people but eating instant oatmeal is much better than not eating at all. Take care of yourselves and remember no one is perfect and you don't have to eat 'healthy' 100% of the time. Some effort is better than no effort and we all fall down. Just remember to get back up, even if it takes some time. In the last 3 years I've lost 60 pounds by making gradual, small changes over that time and learning more and more about nutrition, mental health, and myself. It's a journey and sometimes you'll feel stuck for months at a time - keep going. You'll be able to look back someday and see how you've changed.

    • @Langey_Fitness
      @Langey_Fitness 8 місяців тому

      Congrats on making those little consistent shifts over the years! I always recommend instant alternatives for anyone. Healthy choices depends on more than just the commonly accepted "healthy" foods, you're absolutely right!

    Always get chicken breasts when they're on sale and keep them portioned in the freezer! Most used protein and it gets pricey when not on sale, also get egg whites in bulk at Costco and keep extra cartons in my freezer!
